          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, the asses-
     2  sor of the county of Nassau is hereby authorized to  accept  from  Truth
     3  Center  Ministries  International an application for exemption from real
     4  property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property  tax  law
     5  for  the 2015 assessment roll with respect to the 2014-2015 school taxes
     6  and the 2015 general taxes, for the parcel located at 2 Franklin Avenue,
     7  Port Washington, in the town of North Hempstead known as  Nassau  county
     8  parcel ID section 5 block 84 lot 1.  If accepted, the applications shall
     9  be reviewed as if they had been received on or before the taxable status
    10  date  established  for such rolls. If satisfied that Truth Center Minis-
    11  tries International would otherwise be entitled  to  such  exemption  if
    12  such corporation filed an application for the exemption on or before the
    13  appropriate  taxable  status  dates,  the assessor, upon approval by the
    14  Nassau county legislature, may grant exemption  from  taxation  on  such
    15  assessment  rolls  and  make  the appropriate corrections of the subject
    16  rolls. If exemptions are granted and such corporation, therefore,  shall
    17  have  paid  any  tax  with  respect to the subject rolls, the applicable
    18  governing body or tax  departments,  in  their  sole  discretion,  shall
    19  provide  for  the  refund  of  the taxes paid and cancel taxes remaining
    20  unpaid.
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
